Year 9 Design & Technology: Fashion & Textiles

Year 9 students have made an excellent start in their Eco-Fashion project. Students have been experimenting with a range of different fabrics and fibres through a fabric testing activity, along with having a go at making their own different weave patterns.

After Easter, students will be asked to bring in a piece of clothing they no longer want, to redesign, restyle and remake into a new, creative design based on one of the following artists or designers;

• Vivienne Westwood

• Alexander McQueen

• Coco Chanel

• William Morris

• Mary Quant

I can’t wait to see what new and innovative designs our budding fashion designers in year 9 come up with and hopefully in the summer term, we can showcase all their hard work through a PGHS fashion show!!! Watch this space.
